Filter by:Inhaled nitric oxide is a widely accepted standard of care for pulmonary hypertension, and has been studied in the context of cardiac surgery. CPB during cardiac surgery induces systemic inflammatory response and ischemic-reperfusion injury of many organs. Nitric oxide added to the bypass circuit may have anti-inflammatory effect and has shown the potential to ameliorate organs' injury . There is evidence that the delivery of nitric oxide to the oxygenator gas flow during pediatric CPB is accompanied by a reduction in myocardial injury markers' levels in the postoperative period. In adults, NO supply to the CPB circuit during CABG exerted a cardioprotective effect and was associated with a lower level of inotropic support and cardio-specific blood markers . To our knowledge, this is the first trial to assess whether artificial nitric oxide supplementation to the CPB-system reduces the incidence of hypoxemia after cardiac surgery.
Pathological erythrocyte aggregation reduces capillary perfusion and oxygen transfer to tissue. The aggregation is determined by opposing forces, the repulsive force between cells, cell-to-cell adhesion induced by plasma fibrinogen, and the disaggregating shear force generated by blood flow. The investigators investigate how hypoxic exercise affects intrinsic/extrinsic factors of aggregation. Sixty sedentary males were randomly assigned into either hypoxic (HE; FiO2=15%, n=20) or normoxic (NE; FiO2=21%, n=20) training groups for 30 min·d-1, 5 d·wk-1 for 6 weeks at 60% of maximum work rate or to a control group (CTL; n=20). A hypoxia exercise test (HET, FiO2=12%) was performed before and after the intervention. The erythrocyte aggregation, binding affinity of fibrinogen and membrane biomarkers were determined by an ektacytometry and flow cytometry, respectively.
Endoscopic procedures are commonly performed using sedation. As drug-induced respiratory depression is a major cause of sedation-related morbidity, pulse oximetry has been established as standart practice . However SpO2 does not completely reflect ventilation. Capnography is an additional monitoring parameter which demonstrates respiration activity breath by breath. Unfortunately, in the state of moderate or deep sedation during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures (e.g.ERCP or colonoscopies), regular breathing is often disturbed by moving, squeezing, coughing or changes between nose and mouth ventilation causing leakage and therefore artifacts or misinterpretation of data acquired with ETCO2. These problems often restrict the use of side-stream capnography in clinical practice, although the American Society of Anesthesiologists have suggested in their guidelines that extended monitoring with capnography 'should be considered'in deep sedation. The oxygen reserve index (ORI) is a new feature of multiple wavelength pulse oximetry that provides real-time visibility to oxygenation status in the moderate hyperoxic range (PaO2 of approximately 100-200 mm Hg). The ORI is an "index" with a unit-less scale between 0.00 and 1.00 that can be trended and has optional alarms to notify clinicians of changes in a patient's oxygen status. When utilized in conjunction with SpO2 monitoring the ORI may extend the visibility of a patient's oxygen status into ranges previously unmonitored in this fashion. The ORI may make pre-oxygenation visible, may provide early warning when oxygenation deteriorates, and may facilitate a more precise setting of the required FiO2 level. In this study we aimed to show effectivity of capnography and ORİ monitoring to avoid respiratory events and hypoxia in sedated endoscopic patients. In this study we targeted totally 300 sedated endoscopy patients. Patients will randomize to two groups. In Group I anaesthesiologis will be able to use all the monitoring, where as in Group II will be blinded for ORİ. We will apply pre-oxygenation to obtain long safe apnea time. Approximately 5 min pre-oxygenation (5L/min via nasal cannula) will be used to reach steady state in oxygen reserve. We defined hypoxemia ; SpO2<95% and severe hypoxemia SpO2≤90%, hypoventilation; rise10 mmHg in ETCO2 compare to baseline, ETCO2≤30 mmHg and flat capnography.
The purpose of this study is to determine if in preterm infants < 34 weeks' gestation at birth receiving respiratory support with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or nasal cannula (NC), CPAP compared with NC will decrease the number of episodes with oxygen saturations less than 85% of ≥10 seconds in a 24-hour randomized controlled trial. This will be a randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 parallel allocation of infants to CPAP or NC oxygen using stratified permuted block design.
The aim of the study is to compare the measurement of peripheral blood oxygen saturation using a smartwatch with a medical-grade pulse oximeter.
The oximeter is used to monitor intensive care patients undergoing oxygen therapy. It indicates pulsed oxygen saturation (SpO2), a reflection of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) which enables detection of hypoxemia and hyperoxia, both deleterious state. Current SpO2 recommendations aim to reduce both risk of hypoxemia and hyperoxia. SpO2 is considered the 5th vital sign. Current recommendations for SpO2 targets do not consider the variability of oximeters used in clinical practice. This variability and lack of specification represent an obstacle to an optimal practice of oxygen therapy. Thus, this study aims to compare the SpO2 values of different oximeters (Nonin, Masimo, Philips, Nellcor) used in clinical practice with the SaO2 reference value obtained by an arterial gas in order to specify the precision and the systematic biases of the oximeters studied. This data will also make it possible to refine the recommendations concerning optimal oxygenation
The aim of the project is to experimentally determine the effect of the choice of finger for the placement of a pulse oximeter sensor on the results of measuring peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) in a healthy person with short-term hypoxia and hypercapnia.
Patients with COVID-19 frequently develop lower respiratory complications. Difficulty breathing and a low concentration of oxygen in the blood are of concern in patients with COVID-19, as they indicate that the lungs may be significantly affected. In some patients, respiratory symptoms may progress to the point where oxygen support is needed (i.e. use of an oxygen prongs, mask or ventilator). The exact mechanism of why patients with COVID-19 develop low concentrations of oxygen in blood is not fully understood. Some data suggest that the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus causing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), can affect the body's blood vessels directly and extensively. In the lung, blood vessels participate in the absorption of oxygen. Endothelin is a potent hormone produced by human blood vessels. When increased, endothelin can result in the narrowing of blood vessels in the lung and decrease the volume of blood flowing through the lungs. This decrease in in blood flow through the lungs may be one of many factors affecting normal lung function. Ambrisentan can block the effects of endothelin in the body, and this could theoretically improve blood flow through the lungs. This study will evaluate whether ambrisentan, by blocking the effects of the hormone endothelin in the lungs, improves the breathing capacity of patients with COVID-19, increases the concentration of oxygen in the blood and prevents the progression to respiratory failure and death. Ambrisentan is a drug that is currently used to treat patients with pulmonary hypertension, a disease where blood flow through the lungs is decreased. Subjects participating in this study are those patients hospitalised with severe respiratory symptoms related to COVID-19, and are considered to be at high-risk of developing respiratory complications. Ambrisentan will be administered in the hospital, and will be continued at home for up to 28 days. In this study, ambrisentan will be administered at much lower doses that those used in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
In this study, the correlation of cardiac marker values (Troponin I, CK, CK-MB) measured before treatment with the long-term neurodevelopmental score of newborns diagnosed with perinatal asphyxia and treated with therapeutic hypothermia with a diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) will be evaluated. Physical examination, laboratory (especially cardiac markers), aEEG findings and diffusion MRI findings of babies who have been hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit between 2015-2020 due to respiratory distress and who have undergone perinatal asphyxia but have undergone therapeutic hypothermia treatment will be recorded from their files in the hospital system. The neurological evaluations and neurodevelopmental scores of the babies in the follow-up in the neonatal high risk follow-up clinic after discharge will be recorded from their files.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether lung ultrasound is able to detect lung injury after lung resection surgery.
